Weird undercarriage problems with dozer tracks I have never seen before

[@rogerdalebone]

I worked as an industrial mechanic for 35 years and have been retired for 18. I can't do much anymore but I enjoy watching you guys repair equipment. I especially enjoy watching your sons work with you. Dangerous work. Stay safe.

[@davidfarley1175]

Clint, I'm going to give you a little pro tip, you have a diamond in the rough with Mason, he acts like he wants to learn, and I've seen him working alone in the shop, if you train him to do the work like you want it done, and you keep him on, I think you will have a very knowledgeable mechanic and employee

[@ronbuckner8179]

I Agee w/ David, Mason is good and while you obviously know what you’re doing, he seems real willing to learn. Also, I’m 68 and I weigh 345 lbs(down from 389). You are obviously in a similar condition. I was forced into my retirement because my legs and back could no longer support me. I was taking boy scouts into the woods and one night my heart said “No More”. No high blood pressure, no collestoral, no warnings of any problems whatsoever. I graduated from high school at 311 as an Allstate middle guard. My life changed directions overnight. You don’t know me from atom, but at the time I owned my own company and was considered the master of my industry by every one around me, and I had the ego to prove it. Clint I’ve been listening to you for about a year now. And I hear a lot of me in you. Pay attention, no one wants to hear this especially when you know it’s right.

17:00 For broken off bolts that come loose with a chisel, I take a small cut-off wheel and put a small slot in them, then turn them out quickly with a flat blade screwdriver. 🙂

If you have room, a left handed drill bit works well too.

@@kentmckean6795 I try the left handed drill before welding. If the left handed drill bites, it will often spin the bolt shank right out.

[@tedc7714]

Dad said they used spray the tracks with hot road tar in the coal mines. We used powdered graphite on squealing brakes. He said the tar is a lube and keeps mud from freezing to everything in winter.

[@jamesferguson8217]

When I was in the military, they would make us take a long nosed spade and dig the mud out of our dozer and crawlerloader tracks...then we would set a railroad tie in front of each track and crawl the machine on top of the tie and park it overnight. I guess I forgot to mention that this was during the winter in order to keep the tracks from freezing to the ground. Please let your Dad know I like the hot tar trick!

[@dieseldoctor2221]

Tucker lays a nice weld with that mig welder love to watch him weld!!!

[@Bryanja81]

Clint, sometimes when your faced with strange issues like those tracks; you have to show up to their jobsite uninvited and just observe them operating the equipment. I work for a Stihl dealer and they had a DNR branch that was having constant problems with the carburetors on just their saws. So the regional technical advisor drove all the way to their jobsite and watched them work all day. What he discovered was these guys would file the chain on their saw and then proceed to CLEAN THE FILE IN THE FUEL CAN that they used to fuel up their saws! Warranty void immediately! People do strange shit and sometimes you never know until you see it first hand.

I reckon you know the reason for the "curse" on this machine Clint - the operator. Driving with flipping great rocks in between the rollers, just as bad in mud and could be worse, hard steering movements and general abuse. A lot of guys get on one of this big boys and think they're INVICIBLE but anyone can break'em - takes a lot of skill to put'em right!

Clint, I really take my hat off to you mate, I know I only see you through the videos you produce, but I really admire and appreciate the way you interact with other folks, you always display great dignity and respect and I think you would be a great bloke to call your mate; most of all though I love the way you are with your boys. My Dad used to beat the shit out of me and I sometimes couldn’t even go to school because of the welts I had on me but you take so much time with your boys, teach them heaps and are a very honest and reliable figure in their lives, it’s just really neat to see the way you blend in the workplace and on other things, well done mate, you’d be a person on my bucket list of people I’d like to meet one day.

If it was my dozer that was eating rails on sidehills and rocks I think I might try a set of full-length rock guards and narrower pads. I don’t know if it would suit the owner’s needs or if this machine could be fitted with non-LGP pads. Worth a shot.

[@davidandersen5134]

Nice Job! May tell the Kids that when torqueing it is best to 'pull the torque wrench to you' by the Handle rather than by pushing on it. Also, if you place a hand on the beam of the wrench when pulling, torque values will not be consistent. They are designed to be pulled by the handle. Probably nit picking for Track Bolts, but when torqueing critical fasteners, it's important. Best education you can get is testing Wrenches with a Torque wrench calibrator, will soon see that technique can make 20-30% difference in applied torque.

Had to laugh when you said that this dozer was “cursed”. I worked as a technician in the IT industry from right back in the 70’s when a lot of the kit we worked on was electro-mechanical stuff, and I swore blind that some of the units I worked on were cursed. Or, we called them “Friday afternoon jobs” cause they were put together in the factory in real hurry on Friday afternoon when everyone wanted to knock off early for the weekend 😮😅

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Another interesting and entertaining video, great job. I think one of the things I like best about your videos is seeing the path not traveled. My dad learned diesel repair while working on the construction of ALCAN highway. He lost his fortune as a dirt work and concrete contractor for various reasons and was working on going back to his roots to establish a diesel shop similar to yours. He was paying the bills as a barge Captain out of NYC that eventually took his life when I was seven years old. Some of my earliest memories with him was as a tool gofer after kindergarten half days. I sometimes wonder what pathways I would have taken if he hadn’t been removed from influencing my life at such an early age. I find great entertainment watching C&C and Dirt Perfect videos, two of the paths I likely could of traveled down. As is of all things I retired after 32 years as a Senior Power System Operator. I like to think the skills I picked up in the earliest years of my life as his gofer helped my position as much of my work involved talking with people in the field doing maintenance on mega machines in the field coordinating and authorizing the required repairs and operations. About half of my job involved receiving phone calls from coworkers in the field I had never met, in locations I had never been, requesting to do work I had never done, and I was responsible to understand what they wanted to do, determine if it could be safely performed, and coordinate it with my counterparts at other companies that the work could impact, and take responsibility if something went wrong. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@tedc7714]

Loggers are a separate breed. We did away with loggjng crew. Farmed it all out. Another mill lost 2 guys in 2 years. Skidder driver and a cutter.not a job for sissies. The bunch doing it now have a big. Truck mounted chipper. Take tops etc chipped up to hawville KY . MAKE CHIP BOARD. Customers like having tops out of the woods. A cutter can drop 80 trees a day. In a good woods. With one guy trimming and bucking up lengths. They abuse skidders. But it goes with the job. Getting big logs out of bottom of a hollow. We had an old Mack log truck. They are tough old trucks.

[@larryswearingen8129]

That little green impact is amazing

[@gregoryschmitz2131]

Almost hurts to see the grueling track work. My hat is off to you guys. I do think I have spotted an issue with the track guide and an explanation of why it came loose. The underside bolts had a lock washer but no flat washer. Our conveyors had large (2-3 inch shafts) Pillow Block bearings with the slot surface exactly like that which kept rattling loose. What I finally found in a Bowman fastener book was the recommendation to just use high grade flat washers and high grade bolts (8 or 8+). I convinced our conveyor mechanic to try it on the big slot bearings. Never had one come loose again. He eventually replaced every fastener which amounted to hundreds of fasteners in the 25 some belt conveyor system with that setup (4 ft wide conveyors some 200 feet long). The back slots look the same but did not see what was placed in there. We would use multiple washers for rigidity if the slot was wider than the bolt.
